Acupuncture for Infertility
Around 16% of couples in Canada experience infertility, or the inability to conceive a child. Infertility can be the result of a female factor, a male factor, or a combination of both. Sometimes, no cause can be determined, and this is referred to as unexplained infertility. Acupuncture performed by a fertility acupuncture specialist can be a helpful treatment for restoring fertility in patients, by improving sperm quality and/or ovary function and balancing the endocrine system and hormones. Prairie Medical acupuncture Clinic in past 12 years followed numerous infertile patients from beginning to end of their journey and 72.6% got pregnant.
Holiday Health for Seniors
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can be hard for everyone, but can especially take a toll on seniors and their health. It’s important to continue making healthy, balanced meal choices and working to stay well hydrated during the holidays. Stick to any dietary restrictions you may have, even at family gatherings. If hosting gatherings becomes too difficult, have other family members take on hosting duties. Ensure the busyness of the holidays doesn’t result in clutter that could be a trip hazard, and be sure to take frequent breaks and stay well rested despite all of the excitement. Wishing all of you a safe and happy holiday season!

Smart in Everything but Reading?
Children who are considered bright underachievers often have vision problems that make reading difficult. Sometimes they’re described as auditory learners because they can remember things they’ve heard much faster and easier than anything they’ve read. A clear sign that a vision problem may be at the root of your child’s difficulties is poor performance on written or standardized tests. It may surprise you to learn that many children who have vision problems interfering with learning actually have 20/20 eyesight (with or without glasses). A Developmental Vision Evaluation is needed to determine if a vision problem is interfering with reading.

Ayu What? Ayurveda!
Chances are you’ve heard it before.. so what exactly is it? Ayurveda is an ancient and holistic wellness system from India that is interested in the root cause of our symptoms and in many cases, it is simple and subtle things that we would never have expected would be causing an issue. For example, three drops of hot sauce on your eggs every morning leading to burning headaches, or fresh salad for lunch every day causing constipation, or even eating too much because your taste buds are being deprived of delicious herbs and spices.
